Many people feel uncomfortable carrying a round in the chamber when they first start carrying in public.

I understand the concern and the lack of comfort and I will not tell someone they cannot carry that way.

I will, however, warn them that carrying a firearm without a round in the chamber means the probability of not being able to immediately use it in self defense. One may have to fight via some other means in order to gain time and access to his or her firearm and by then it may be too late.
